As with all maintenance, buying the service manual is highly recommended.

Instructions:
Tools:
- 12 pt. ¼" socket wrench - Putty knife
- Torque Wrench - Anti-Seize
- Lyndall Racing Brakes Z Pads
Instructions:
- Remove the Master cylinder cover by removing the 2 Phillips head screws.
- Use the putty knife to separate the inside brake pad from the rotor (be careful not to scar the rotor).
- Use the putty knife to separate the outside brake pad from the rotor (See Figure 1 in this PDF Brake Pads And Discs).http://docs.sendsilently.com/getsilently/?id=31fefc0e570cb3860f2a6d4b38c6490d
- Remove the 2 brake pad pins (you may have to push the inside brake pad into the caliper with your 2 fingers, as you slide the pin halfway out and then the outside pad as you pull the pins the rest of the way out). (See Figure 2)
- As you slide the old pads out, notice which pad came from where. The new pads will go back in the same direction and position.
- Once you have both pins out, thoroughly clean the pins with Brake Cleaner.
- Put Blue Loctite on the pin threads and wipe a coat of Anti-seize on the shaft.
- Insert the new outside pad first (using the "finger push method," described above) push the new outside pad into the caliper as you insert both pins halfway.
- Repeat the "finger push method" for the inside pads and push the pins in the rest of the way. You will hear and feel a click on the pins when they are in.
- Now tighten the pins to 190 in lbs.
- Press the brakes to verify that the pistons are working and engage the pads.
- Check brake fluid level in the master cylinder. If low, fill to within ?" of the top.
- Replace master cylinder cover and tighten to 7 in lbs.
Note: This is done easiest when the calipers are off the bike.
